Anyone who talks about tax cuts without talking about that is misleading the people.

The problem is not that. The problem is that the majority of both sides know what they DON'T want to cut: military, healthcare, pensions.

Sometimes they genuinely don't want to cut it, other times it is simply a matter of political expediency.

But the fact is, no matter how much protest and outrage is out there, some tough decisions need to be made.
As BILLIONS are being given away to banks who raise fees, to companies that lay off, renegotiate contracts to their workers but make sure those in upper management get millions in bonuses, it's really hard to say the government can't make cuts.

While bridges to nowhere are being built, money is handed to foreign countries that hate us and we have a generation trained not to work and they can live very nicely...... it is hard to say they can't make cuts.

When Obama in his campaign states he wants a community organization as strong as the US military that will cost billions taxpayer money, it is hard to say they can't cut taxes.

When we have illegals bankrupting south western hospitals the government has to help.... it is hard to say they can't cut taxes.

There is so much corruption, special interest and bullshit spending..... THEY CAN CUT TAXES. To argue otherwise is foolish.
